This absolutely checks out. And it also tracks with how upset people are with the shutdown/lifting of shutdown. The richer you are, the more willing you are to just shelter in place. Especially true of rich people without jobs( housewives and inheritors).

I’m not sure if I completely agree with your assessment.

I’m not rich, but my wife is a stay-at-home mom. And she has been against the shutdown from the beginning.

The majority of corporate white collar workers are able to work at home.

The impact of this thing is actually rather complicated.

I have not seen an article that gets into the weeds on who is working and who is not—and I suspect it varies wildly by industry.

In addition, many industries are open in some “locked-down” states but not others.

The headlines make great talking points, but reality often does not match them.

Maybe some rich feel that way, but I’d say it’s more a political divide.
